Steve:

 

I just thought you might enjoy this.

 

My best buddy and partner 90% of the time I fish is my 15 year old grandson; Jeremy. It was overcast here today, and rainy off and on but we thought we'd try our luck at a pond near my house. It contains some good size bass as well as bluegills, crappie, channel cats and a few other species.

 

It's been a hot summer. Topwater seems to be what's worked best lately, as is usual this time of year. I fished a small floating Rapala and Jeremy was using popping bugs. Neither of us had much luck. Even though I didn't think conditions were really right for them, I tied on one of the Olive Minnow bucktail jigs I just bought from you. I immediately got a bite. My grandson saw the action and tied on the other one I'd brought. He ended up hooking several of the biggest bass we'd ever caught on that water!

 

I think it was the slow fall of that jig that triggered them. You use those really long buck tail hairs that flair out on both the fall and also when you pop the jig. On Jeremy's last bass, the fish broke off just as he was being landed. Jeremy switched to another kind of hair jig, since we'd only brought those two, but caught nothing after that.

 

I want to thank you for a great product. I'll try to get pictures next time. Meanwhile, I'll order more jigs!
